Here are some major reasons for such a decision. 1.The health reasonMedical studies prove that a vegetarian diet is easier to digest, provides a wider range of nutrients(营养) and has fewer burdens on the body. Vegetarians（素食者）are less influenced（影响）by all the major diseases, and thus live longer, healthier, more productive lives. They have fewer physical complaints, less frequent visits to the doctor, and smaller medical bills.In a word, they are in the most natural conditions（状况）of life.2. __________________Planet earth is suffering. In large measure, the great loss of species, destruction（破坏）of ancient rainforests to create lands where animals can feed on grass, loss of top soils, and the increase of water impurities(杂质) and air pollution have a common cause which is the single fact of meat in the human diet. No single decision that we can make as individuals （个人）or as a race can have such a dramatic effect on the improvement of our planetary ecology(生态) as the decision not to eat meat. Many seeking to save the planet for future generations （代）have made this decision for this reason and this reason alone.3.The economic reasonThe simple fact is that to produce 1 kilogram of meat, it requires over 16 kilograms of grain and much more water. Millions of animals are bred（喂养）for meat production. If they were not bred, the vegetation would be used to feed people. And more people in hunger would have their food.36.Vegetarians prefer to live on vegetables for the reasons EXCEPTthat _______.A. vegetables are easier to digestB. they provide more kinds of nutrientsC. vegetables are cleaner than meatD. the body will have fewer burdens37.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to thispassage?A.

He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER （顾客）IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”41.

Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected（影响）in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases（情况）a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare（罕见的）cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green －a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no colo r. Some insects （昆虫）have favorite colors. Mosquitoes（蚊子）prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid （帮助）of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes （形状）at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible（看不见的）colors around us.46.
